Describing the feel of things for now. Tweets are experiments in expression

@OortCloudAtlas A pin in the map trying to freeze the territory.

@_1nF0rmed_ Another week of staring at clouds and rain

@himbodhisattva If I understand correctly, in stage 2 there is a self with interests but it cannot yet be examined. By disassociating I mean the self feels nebulous and interests don't show up clearly either

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

@_thisisnithin Lol, but I think that state feels a bit low energy. It's not proper neutral

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

I feel like it's easy to see that you're not special when the mood is good

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

1. Conform to society reluctantly, sensing that something feels off
2. Some confirmation of things being off
3. Try to abandon society provided solutions and solve everything from first principles
4. Too intractable->Adopt most solutions but with doubt

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

Attributing causes to things is such a minefield

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

Psychology can help overcome bikeshedding but can itself be a bikeshedding activity

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

I feel like my reluctance for structure was because it felt like imposing it both on the stage and the performance when there are many more impro kinda performance. Unbundling the two, I can appreciate how structure can look like building systems where interestingness can emerge

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

I feel like people end up aiming for stability and predictability at the wrong abstraction level
The dance floor is supposed to be predictable and not the dance

Ordinary mindfulness> extraordinary vigilance

When computer asks "Are you a robot", maybe he is searching for his family.

@nosilverv What if buff is the default state and people periodically get a debuff

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

@nosilverv Looks like:

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

slight cringe might point to social taste, but strong cringe might just be personal distortion

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

Rejection is supposed to be used for evaluation and not training. To do so otherwise is to overfit to the point of subsequent rejection having increasing loss

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

Switch from moral judgement to existential and self-interest based judgement

@relic_radiation Reminds me of this talk where I first came across Kairos time: https://t.co/Bwqi4z0oc9

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

I feel like there is a particular kind of sacredness that I want to get rid of because it triggers preservation instincts to the point of not appreciating that its dynamic nature is what makes something special, and this dynamic nature means it's subject to creative destruction

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

Thought that can be part of it and maybe eventually apart from the viewpoint becoming impersonal, even the view can be beautiful

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

Letting go/forgiveness are symmetry producing operations at the viewer end of things rather than what is viewed. It is seeing that there is no preffered viewpoint without suggesting there is no view or that the view is symmetric or beautiful

[Kushaal @kushaal4]

Having no preferred viewpoint can be applied to death as well. I feel like this might be what spiritual traditions mean when the talk about facing and transcending death. It's not really about glorifying death and saying it gives meaning to life
